My first set (of 4 stashes) of Stackable pieces came in a clear plastic box which I think was sold as a "Martian Chess Set", although I'm sure others will correctly inform me of a different name. It was impossible to get individual colors as a stash for a while. I believe I got a different set of 4 stashes as part of the Zendo boxed set (which I only bought for the pyramids, already having the rules for Zendo handy). I don't know if individual tubes were available at that time yet, either. I believe the tubes came about as part of a marketing attempt based around one of the games which can be played with fewer stashes than Zendo or Ice House. > Here's a link to the page about the stacker stash boxes: > > http://www.ee0r.com/proj/stackerstash.html > > Wow, more than ten years ago.
